Swallow Tail Required.
FROM The Ne,o York World.

FROM Tue NeU Olh W OTm
The management of the Grand Union
Hotel is evidently not in sympathy with the
efforts to reform the evening dress of men.
Mr. Berry Wall, whose fame is national as
an admirer of the unique in dress, donned
the latest English fad in dress coats the
other night and sought to enter the ball
room of the Grand Union. In cut of collar
and sleeve it is like the conventional dress
coat, but the similarity ends there. 1t has
no tails, and it is cut loose, with pockets in
the side, so while sitting a man might seem
to be in evening dress but when he stands
up he seems to be clothed in loose, neglige
sack coat The enforcement of dicipline in
an abbey was never stronger than the in
sistance of conventional evening dress at the
dances of the Union So the attendant at
the door stopped Mr.. Wall and told him he
would have to put on evening dress if he
wished to enter
"But am in evening Dress" protested
Mr. w.
But you're not, said the man.
"Well, who ought to be the best judge of
thatn suggested Mr.. Wall.
81 am, sir, as far as this ball room is con
cerned. Do not blame me; | am forced to
carry out my instructions"
SO Mr.. Wall gracefully retired and did
not dance at the Union that night. He said
to me afterward: "Of course the man was
not to blame, but what rot the insistance of
conventional evening dress in Saratoga is.
The coat | wear is a coat very generally
used in England for dinner and for dances
in country homes. 1t is loose and cool and
sufficiently formal They are wearing them
at Newport, and in short time some COM
promise on the claw-hammer will be gen
orally worn. Heaps of people howl for a
difference in the costumes of walters and
guests, and the first person who attempts to
Introduce a modification is set down as a
crank

The Texas Base Ball L eague.

the Texas league of base ball clubs was
formally organized yesterday, the clubs
represented being Fort Worth, Dallas,
Houston and Austin. Galveston, San An
tonic and Waco did not send delegations,
but it il understood that they will
promptly fall into line. The first bust
ness of the convention was the adoption
of a constitution. Officers of the league
were chosen, as follows: Fred W. Turner,
president, Austin; Robert Adair, vice.
president, Houston; Will l.. Reynolds,
secretary and treasurer, Dallas. Salary
limit was fixed at $1,000 as the highest
price to be paid any player. The prUpo
sition of Hunter d. Geuslipger, of New
Orleans, TO furnish balls for the season of
1888 and to publish league guide-book was
accepted. Secretary Byrne, of the nat onal
arbitration committee, was advised of the
formation of the league, aud a formal
application for protection was made. A
meeting of directors will take place in
Houston on January Is, 1888. Thus the
Texas State league is fully organized and
ready for business. New Orleans desires
to enter with Shreveport, but action on
their application was postponed until the
next meeting. Austin has cause to con-
graduate herself on her enter prise in this
matter, In taking The initiative step she
met with some opposition, but it has
been happily surmounted. The delegates
to the convention were all representative
citizens. Standing high, socially and
financially, in the communities which sent
them, all have promised the most active
support to the league of 1888. We part
with these gentlemen with regret.

A SURPRISE.
A Pleasant Affair IN the Statesman
Editorial Rooms.

Last night, about II o'clock, as Colonel
Gaines, the retiring manager of The
STATESMAN, and Mr.. Peyton Brown, edi-
torial manager under the former regime
of the paper, were conversing with eome
gentlemen in the editorial rooms of the
paper, they were surprised to see the
compositors and other employees under
III 3 old management filing into the room.
Both gentlemen, supposiDg it was strike,
were seemiI gly amazed.
But the occasion was soon manifest; it
was presen alton OH the part of the old
employees, aud as token of regard, of a
handsome dressing robe to Colonel Gaines,
and handsome smoking jacket to Mr..
Brown.
The presentation was made, and very
nicely too, by Mr.. p arker, of the business
department, aud replied to handsomely
and opriately by Messrs. Gaines and
Brown. subsequently basket of Mumm's
best champagne was opened in the
spacious composing room of The STATES
MAN. Foreman Driskill called "tIme" and
the compOsitors dropped their "sticks,"
and, with the old and new management,
partook of the sparkling beverage. In
response to toast, Colonel Gaines spoke
highly of the ew management. General
HANDY, replying, told the employees his
best efforts would be directed to building
up The STATEsM AN, and In this connection
req uested their h earty cooperation.
The affair broke up with the best of
feeling all around.
